An Anecdote of Scott.

Gen. Scott, writes Ben: Perley Poore,
used to narrate n story about one of his
Virginia connections, Col. G harles Scott,
atter he had been made q prisoner of war
at the surrender OF Charleston, s. c., in
l'8l. His health became so bad that he
obtained his parole; and having procured
morse and chair for himself and a horse
lor his servant, and put some provisions
ana bottle OF spirits into the chair box
(lor there were few houses of accommoda-
tlon on the road he was about to travel J,
the General was placed IN his small car
rage ana set out for his native State,
Virginia.
On his march to Charleston he acquired
Tue knowledge of a remarkably cool
spring, about twelve or fourteen miles
from tne city, encompassed by fine
snade, and not more than 100 yards from
tne road. de ordered his servant to drive
10 tne spot, which was soon found. As
inc General was so feeble that he could
neither walk nor stand alone, his servant
spread his cloak upon the grass, took him
from MS chair and laid him down to
rest.
The British commander had sedulously
plonloltec all communications to the
american prisoners either by letter or
was extremely difficult to learn what was
gong on. Gen. Scott was desirous to

ne oruefed his servant to keep q lookout,
ana IL lie saw any person passing along

tne spring. After some time the servant
remarked TO tho General that he saw n

The General was 80 pleased with the

covered that he had got into a consider

 The paper of Aug. 22d, 1868, gives par ticulars of the return of Company D to Stafford, and a sketch of its war experi- ence, from which we borrow some facts and make addition of others obtained of survivors. The regiment sailed from New York, Nov. 29th, 1862, and went to Baton Rouge After being in two warm skirmish- es they were ordered to Donaldsonville, and April 14th opened the battle of Irish Bend as skirmishers. Through some mis- understanding the company was on the right instead of in their proper place in the regiment, and this brought them on the right of the entire army. Being flank ed by the enemy, they suffered severely. The first indication of the nearness of the foe was their appearance with raking fire, which, pouring along "endwise" of the lines, told fearfully. Abner Brooks, known as ''the tall man of the regiment, |" fell dead, others sadly wounded, three of them fatally, viz. : Zebulon Gray, Wm. Rogers, Jr., and Wm. Faulkner. 9th CTS wounded were John Gray, who after wards died of his injuries at his home in Stafford, Penuel Eddy, k. K. Taft, J. R. Aldrich, Joseph Allen, Francis A. Allen, J. Fl. Adams, J. D. Fenton, Albro Wiers, A. l.. Howard, A. K. Close, and Geo. A. Brink. MT. Wiers was shot in the tenn pie, but is yet living. Tn spite of its ex- posed position and the shock of surprise. the company and regiment held it's posi- tion until ordered to fall back the sol diers dropped on the ground and loaded and fired on the enemy, until so ordered. Corporal A. l.. Howard, who now has a meat market in Stafford Springs, while re- clining on his elbow and loading his rifle, had shot blow through his breast, strik- ing the breast bone He kept his place in line and fell back with the others, but later in the day got 8 bullet in the head, which for 8 time disabled him. With characteristic frugality he saved all the lead which the rebels fired into him, and has it yet, wrapped up in a paper at home. The bullet in the bead was taken out by the surgeon. Noting that his clothing bore no trace of the exit of the ball which wounded his breast. he made search, when he found leisure to do so, and discovered the lead lying in the pocket of his blouse, where it had ground to fine powder the glass of dagusrrotype carried there.
